Select the actual distances represented by the following scale distances if the map scale is 1 centimeter = 1 kilometer 23 centimeters = a. 0.023 kilometersb. 0.23 kilometersc. 23 kilometers0.5 centimeters =a. 0.5 kilometersb. 50 kilometersc. 500 kilometers9 centimeters = a. 0.9 kilometersb. 9 kilometersc. 0.009,
Accepted Solution
A:
23 centimeters = We make the following rule of three: 1 centimeter ----> 1 kilometer 23 centimeter -> x kilometer We clear x: x = (23/1) * (1) x = 23 kilometers 0.5 centimeters = We make the following rule of three: 1 centimeter ----> 1 kilometer 0.5 centimeter -> x kilometer We clear x: x = (0.5 / 1) * (1) x = 0.5 kilometers
9 centimeters = We make the following rule of three: 1 centimeter ----> 1 kilometer 9 centimeter -> x kilometer We clear x: x = (9/1) * (1) x = 9 kilometers
Answer: c. 23 kilometers a. 0.5 kilometers b. 9 kilometers
